Abstract:
A process for coproducing alkanesulfonyl chloride (ASC) or alkanesulfonic acid (ASA) and hydrochloric acid of reduced contamination with ASC, wherein a compound of the formula RSX, where X is hydrogen or -SR¹ and R and R¹ are alkyl radicals having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, is reacted with chlorine in the presence of aqueous hydrochloride at an elevated pressure.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for the preparation of unsymmetrical dialkyl trisulfides by the reaction of dialkyl trisulfides and olefins in the presence of an acidic-type catalyst whereby alkyl groups are exchanged. Novel mixtures of symmetrical and unsymmetrical dialkyl trisulfides are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Curable compositions which are precursors for cured or partially cured light stabilized epoxy resins which are the product of the reaction of some or all of the epoxy groups of an epoxy resin with an N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amic acid hydrazide as well as the cured or partially cured reaction products thereof together with processes for their use and articles of manufacture produced thereby are disclosed.
Abstract:
An improvement in the functional properties of a brittle substrate such as glass is achieved by application of an aqueous solution of a silane to the surface of the substrate. The solution comprises monomeric materials containing silanols, and incorporates at least one function such as strength, color and radiation modification. The materials of principal interest are silanes with at least one alkoxy group connected to silicon, and preferably having three alkoxy groups. The alkoxy silanes are dissolved in an aqueous solution in concentrations of from 1 to 100% by weight. After application, the coatings are cured. Coated articles are provided with useful characteristics.
Abstract:
Paint stripper formulations containing a solvent system comprised of an ester such as benzyl formate and methods for using the same to strip paint.
Abstract:
N-(2,2,6,6-tetraalkyl-4-piperidinyl)amine-hydrazides of dicarboxylic acids contain a light stabilizing group, a heat stabilizing group, a 5-membered lactam ring and a reactive hydrazide functionality in the same molecule. The reactive stabilizers can be prepared by reacting 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidines with dialkyl itaconates followed by hydrazinolysis of the ester group of the intermediate mono ester-amide. The compounds are useful for introducing permanent heat and light stability to coreactive polymers or copolymers. They are also useful in the stabilization of inert polymeric systems against the degradative effects of heat and light when merely mixed with, rather than reacted with, the polymers for which stabilization is sought.
